Martin Kpebu, a private legal practitioner, has once again blown an alarm on embattled former Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori-Atta.
According to Martin Kpebu, his sources tell him that Ken Ofori-Atta, through one of his sons, has applied for permanent residence in the US.
Speaking on The Key Points on TV3 on November 22, 2025, Kpebu stated, “It turns out that in the interim, Ken Ofori-Atta is trying to get permanent residence in the US. You know, this work we do, if I had to disclose all my sources, my sources would dry up. It’s credible, but I have to keep citizen journalism. I have the right to keep it”.
“So right now, the key thing is that, and that’s why it’s really aching me more. As the OSP was being reluctant, Ofori-Atta, through one of his sons, applied for permanent residence in the US. So that complicates his return”, he added.
He further explained, “I look at where the source is coming from. I believe it. And of course, if push comes to shove, we’ll go into the US system, which is there, and they’ll say, Okay, we’ll do an RTI request to the Department of Homeland Security and the State Department in the US”.
“So the key thing is that, as we’re here, from January [2025] we started asking for trial in absentia. The OSP came and gave us ridiculous, ludicrous answers, that, no, you cannot do a trial in absentia. Eleven months! The fugitives, as described, are not in the country, obviously. So the trial is going to go on,” he fumed.
However, the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has issued a public notice regarding the news of INTERPOL dropping a red notice against former finance minister Ken Ofori-Atta.
According to the OSP, the process initiated by the lawyer of Ken Ofori-Atta to get their client removed from the INTERPOL red notice is still pending.
The OSP, however, argued that the Commission for the Control of INTERPOL’s Files is still studying the case, adding that during the proceedings, the Applicant’s name, image and details are often removed from public view until a final determination.
In a post on X, the OSP stated, “In October 2025. The Commission for the Control of INTERPOL’s Files notified Ghanaian Authorities that the Accused Kenneth Nana Yaw Ofori Atta had applied for the removal of his name from INTERPOL’s Red Notice. The Commission requested Ghana’s response to Mr Ofori Atta’s application. Ghana’s response was duly submitted on 22 October 2025.
By communication dated 7 November 2025, the Commission for the Control of INTERPOL’s Files notified Ghanaian Authorities that Accused Kenneth Nana Yaw Ofori-Atta had filed additional arguments in an addendum, and the Commission requested Ghanaian Authorities to file their response to Mr Ofori-Atta’s additional arguments by 21 November 2025.
The proceedings are still pending, and the Commission for the Control of INTERPOL’s Files is still studying the case. During the pendency of the proceedings, the Applicant’s name, image and details are often redacted from public view until a final determination is made.
The public is urged to disregard all publications to the contrary as borne of mischief and misinformation”.
Additionally, Martin Kpebu has boldly told the Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, that his game as a double agent is over.
According to Martin Kpebu, the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) is engaged in double agent work, which Ghanaians cannot continue to deal with.
He boldly claimed that Kissi Agyebeng appears to be working for the people of Ghana, and at the same time serving the former finance minister Ofori-Atta’s interest.
Speaking in an interview with GhanaWeb, Martin Kpebu stated, “This double agent work, we cannot continue to deal with double agency. You are either working for the people of Ghana or you are not. But to be working, to appear to be working for the people of Ghana, and also be serving Ofori-Atta’s interest, we can’t accept that”.
He added, “Because he said, ‘I intercepted the letter, I intercepted the letter,’ and you sat down and you allowed him to go.”
